THIS week's Packet Pad is this impressive six-bedroom, three-storey home in Penryn.
WHAT IS THE PROPERTY LIKE?
A substantial Grade II Listed Victorian granite‐fronted residence set over three floors with many period features such as original fireplaces, wooden doors, sash windows with shutters, part wooden flooring, architraves and beautiful turning staircase leading to the first floor.
Internally, 'College House' boasts two reception rooms to the ground floor, one of which, the living area, spanning the full length of the property, and the kitchen/dining room with exposed beamed ceiling and attractive timber features throughout.
To the first floor, there are four bedrooms including the master with a delightful double aspect and spacious family bathroom suite to accompany.
Rising to the second floor, two double bedrooms with exposed 'A frame' beams provide en‐suite facilities ideal for children or guests.
Externally, the property is approached by a wrought iron gate providing access onto the brick pavia driveway, with garage to the side. A well stocked and mainly lawned front garden offers views over the town centre, with a quaint yet secluded low maintenance rear garden featuring a small patio area, perfectly suited for entertaining.
WHAT IS THE SURROUNDING AREA LIKE?
Situated to the south eastern outskirts of Penryn, the property is within a minute walk of the town centre, notably the university campus being within close proximity. Beautiful woodland walks are a stone’s throw, leading to College Woods and nearby College Reservoir.
The open green opposite, formerly known as 'Glasney Playing Field', is a superb area for open play suitable for young families. An eclectic mix of commercial facilities complement the town, with the nearby Commercial Road a 'hive of activity' with interesting restaurants and shops.
Alternatively, Falmouth is within a mile, offering an excellent array of commercial facilities, primary and secondary schooling and health care.
